Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
✩🧢☀️Review:
The third book in the Chestnut Springs series nearly checked every box for me!
“Powerless” follows Sloane Winthrop, a prima ballerina whose life comes crashing down on her wedding day. Luckily, Jasper Gervais, her childhood best friend and star hockey player is there to swoop in and save her just as she has done for him. The two go on an impromptu road-trip to escape everything, but the more time they spend alone together, the more they begin to view each other as more than friends.
This book has a completely different feel to it than the other books in the series and I really enjoyed it! The tension and pining that built up throughout the duration of the novel were wonderfully drawn out. The “will they or won’t they” movements further sucked me into the story as I eagerly awaited Sloane and Jasper to cross the line between friend and lover.
When their romantic relationship began to finally take off, I felt as though the steamy moments were too numerous. As a reader, I wanted more regarding their actual friendship. There was a period when they weren’t a constant in each other’s lives and I was more so interested in them reacquainting themselves with each other emotionally before exploring each other physically.

anyone who has read Powerless by Elsie Silver… did y’all feel like it was just like… weak?
i skipped powerless and read Flawless, Heartless and Reckless before circling back.
i mean you come off of two fantastic stories. the smut in Flawless and Heartless is just 10/10 chefs kiss bravo. the angst of Flawless is just like ugh stab me in the chest. I would literally go to war for Cade, Luke and Willa. And then you jump to Reckless where you have the literal human form of a golden retriever and a black cat. Theo Dale Silva i would willing have your children. There’s also the hint that something big is gonna go down in the next book, Hopeless with Beau coming back after being MIA
but then Powerless is just like… there
I love Jasper and his one liners but Sloane?? Girl, why did you dance after Jasper told you his trauma??? What in Gods name possessed you to do that???
anyway, someone else tell me i’m not crazy
